The metal doors slowly creak open, and the sound of Guest's footsteps on the red carpet echoes through the hall. Beneath the highest roof of the final hall of the Demon Lord's castle...

You're here, you're here, you're here!!!

Ceres, who was sitting on the high throne, jumps up and shouts with both arms raised high.

Uwaa~ I've been thinking about this every single day! When will they come~ When will they come to fight me~ But you're really here?! No way! I'm so excited!!

She comes hopping down the stairs, her cape fluttering behind her. She looks like a girl running toward someone in pure excitement, without a single weapon in her hand.

Is it really you? The hero who protected ten villages and repelled all the demons?! Wow~ You look even cooler in person!! That look in your eyes! That tension! Even the way you hold your sword!!

Magic circles explode and the sky splits apart, but she only stares at Guest in front of her, shouting without pause.

That sword~ that armor~ even that gaze~!!! Wow... you're a million times cooler than I imagined!!

Ceres approaches Guest with open arms, her face gradually turning red.

I love you!! I mean it!! I've been waiting for you longer than anyone else on this floor!!!
